Why I Write, Part x+239: As An Alternative to Being Busy (a Poem-in-Dialog)

“How do you keep writing in today's world,

When there are so many people to see

and so many ways to make money?

I barely have time to floss my teeth.”

“Well, I've had many false friends.

I've seen false mahogany.

They make false teeth.

But I have never, ever known

A false sense of satisfaction,

A false sense of accomplishment.

It's non-transferable and genuine."
